Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Battleship ("we", "our", or "us") handles information when you use our mobile game application (the "App").

Information We Collect

Analytics Information

We collect anonymous usage analytics to improve the game experience. This includes:

• Gameplay statistics (games played, wins/losses, game duration)
• Device information (model, operating system version)
• App usage patterns (features used)
• Performance metrics (crashes, errors)
• Subscription events (paywall views, purchase attempts, subscription status)

This data is collected through Mixpanel, a third-party analytics service. The data is anonymized and cannot be used to identify individual users.

Subscription Information

If you choose to purchase a subscription, we collect and process:

• Anonymous device identifier for subscription management
• Subscription status and entitlements
• Purchase verification data
• Game usage limits and remaining free games

This information is processed through RevenueCat, our subscription management service, and is used solely to provide subscription features and prevent unauthorized access.

iCloud Sync Data

To provide cross-device game progress sync, we store the following in your personal iCloud account:

• Game limits and usage counters
• Number of games played
• Last game date for daily limit resets

This data is stored in Apple's iCloud Key-Value store tied to your Apple ID and is not accessible to us. It syncs automatically across your devices and survives app reinstallation.

Information We DO NOT Collect

We do not collect any personally identifiable information, including:

• Personal identifiers (name, email, phone number)
• Advertising IDs or persistent device tracking
• Location data
• Contact information
• Photos or media files
• Personal Apple ID information (only anonymous device identifiers are used)

Local Data Storage

The App may store the following information locally on your device:

• Game preferences and settings
• Current game state
• Temporary subscription cache data

Local device data is not accessible to us. Game progress data is automatically synced to your personal iCloud account for cross-device access.

Third-Party Services

Mixpanel (Analytics)

We use Mixpanel, a third-party analytics service, to collect anonymous usage data. Mixpanel may collect information such as:

• Device type and operating system
• App version and usage patterns
• Anonymous identifiers for analytics purposes
• Subscription and paywall interaction events

RevenueCat (Subscription Management)

We use RevenueCat to manage subscriptions and in-app purchases. RevenueCat processes:

• Anonymous device identifiers
• Subscription status and entitlements
• Purchase receipts for verification
• Usage attributes for subscription analytics

RevenueCat does not collect personal information and uses anonymous identifiers only. For more information about RevenueCat's privacy practices, please visit https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy/

Apple Services

The app uses Apple's built-in services:

• iCloud Key-Value Storage: For syncing game progress across your devices
• App Store purchases: For subscription transactions (handled by Apple)

These services are governed by Apple's Privacy Policy: https://www.apple.com/privacy/

We do not integrate with advertising networks or other third-party services beyond those listed above.

Data Security

We take data security seriously:

• Analytics data is transmitted securely to Mixpanel's servers and processed anonymously
• Subscription data is securely processed by RevenueCat using industry-standard encryption
• iCloud data is encrypted and stored securely in your personal Apple iCloud account
• Local data remains securely on your device and is protected by iOS security measures

We do not store any personal information on our servers. All user data is handled by trusted third-party services or stored securely in your personal cloud accounts.

Data Retention

Data retention varies by type:

• Analytics data: Retained by Mixpanel according to their data retention policy
• Subscription data: Retained by RevenueCat for as long as necessary to provide subscription services
• iCloud data: Stored in your personal iCloud account indefinitely until you delete it
• Local data: Stored on your device until you delete the app

Children's Privacy

Our App is suitable for players of all ages. We only collect anonymous analytics data that cannot be used to identify individual users. We comply with children's privacy regulations including COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act).

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.

International Users

Data may be transferred to and processed in different countries:

• Analytics data: Processed in the United States where Mixpanel's servers are located
• Subscription data: Processed by RevenueCat in the United States
• iCloud data: Stored in Apple's global iCloud infrastructure based on your Apple ID region
• Local game data: Remains on your device in your country

All data transfers comply with applicable privacy laws and use appropriate safeguards.

Your Rights

Since we only collect anonymous analytics data, there is no personal data to access, modify, or delete. You have the following options:

• Delete app data: Uninstall the application from your device to remove all local data
• Delete iCloud data: Sign out of iCloud or disable Key-Value storage for the app in iOS Settings
• Cancel subscriptions: Manage subscriptions through your Apple App Store account settings
• Opt out of analytics: Contact us to request analytics opt-out (may affect app improvements)
